It's much, much looser now and I wouldn't want my 5 year-old reading it with all the innuendo and crap that goes on often, but the community seems pretty happy.<BR/><BR/>Like any anonymous internet community,there's a lot more hyperbole and 'look at me' that goes on. Some of which can be fun to debate... ;)<BR/><BR/>Again, I preferred your approach as I felt it led to a more intelligent conversation about the team and hockey and less ranting and silliness. There's a lot of black-and-white hysterics there now, but they're having fun so c'est la vie.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, your work here is exemplary and I wouldn't worry about HF since you've put it behind you. I've been grateful for the time you invest in finding the articles and you're commentary, while I don't always agree with it, is always well-reasoned and free of histrionics.

I got two<BR/>e-mails about people talking about me at HF. <BR/><BR/>I get the impression I should have done things in public a lot more as a mod even if it was against the rules. <BR/><BR/>You know, run down someone in public for breaking the rules so my friends can see I'm doing the job for everyone and thank me in public. <BR/><BR/>I always kept that stuff off the board for the benefit of everyone who wanted to talk hockey, looks like being a nice person for everyone won me no public popularity contest except with those who knew me best. <BR/><BR/>Doing the right thing has always been far more important than doing what's popular.NYIsles1/IslesTigershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08893910827754685132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543837509741614295.post-86067776761633872052008-02-08T22:05:00.000-05:002008-02-08T22:05:00.000-05:00I grew up in New Glasgow (my Mom's still there, my...I grew up in New Glasgow (my Mom's still there, my in-laws are there and I'm likely related to half the town) so it's nice to see Jon going back home to promote the Hockey Day in Canada.<BR/><BR/>But it's absolutely bizarre to see the New Glasgow Evening Snooze (as we used to call it) linked here on a New York blog. I didn't even know it was online! My how the world has flattened. :)JKPnoreply@blogger.com
